Robbie1039 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 Amazing amazing amazing. This is the best performance of basket case in all of the history of our good men. God bless and goodnight (I’m a bit drunk. Man did this video hit.) also, at 15:36, Travis barker talks so highly of a bass Mike gave him during the pop disaster tour. Hearing him talk about how he uses it for basically everything besides Blink is really endearing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, this performance was just triumphant and perfect and I love it Also Billie’s huge tie and ruffled shirt is amazing 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie1039 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Buzzing again, playing video games and listening to Saviors and I got a random nitpick with the song father to a son. In the line “I’ve made a few mistakes, but I’ll never break your heart”, I’ve always noticed the word “heart” sounds like it’s been stitched together. Idk if it’s 2 takes or auto tune. But that is all folks. (I know they’ve used pitch correction multiple times here and in the past but this part sticks out every time) I love this album still btw and it’s great to revisit it. I just watched these guys share their thoughts on it. They’re pretty funny! P.S. Fancy Sauce is still one of the main songs I find being stuck in my head at work and is one of my top 5 of the album for sure. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post stories and songs Posted April 13 Popular Post Share Posted April 13 Early April is what I consider my “Green Day-versary” and this year is a big one! My dad got American Idiot when it first came out and I was resistant to liking it at first — I liked heavier, darker rock at the time and felt like Green Day was too upbeat for me. But over the next few months and hours upon hours of listening to them in my dad’s car, they grew on me (or “wore me down” is probably the more correct phrasing ). I admired them so much for the political statements they were making and just thought they seemed like really awesome people. My parents eventually got me Shenanigans and International Superhits on CD and I’d comb through every word in the liner notes. I’d never really taken an interest in band members before and Billie really changed that for me, because I had so much respect for him and found him so talented. This is not the fangirl thread, but yes, I also found him impossibly attractive in all the ways. In early April 2005, I realized that perhaps Green Day meant a bit more to me than most bands. I’m now the age they were when they released American Idiot and it’s hard for me to wrap my head around all they’d already accomplished at this point in their lives, and how they created a timeless masterpiece in their early 30s. The AI-era version of them seems so young to me now. Part of me feels like I’ve loved them for 20 years, part of me feels like it’s been no time at all, and part of me feels like I was never even me before I found them. It is crazy to think they’ve been part of my life for two decades, but I’m so glad they have been, so glad I’ve gotten over breaks I’ve taken from them in the past, and so glad I’m here and they’re here and I get to witness them still doing awesome stuff like playing Coachella for the first time. I’m having more fun as a fan now than I ever have. What a ride. 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nowshesgone Posted Monday at 11:12 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:12 PM IMO if i had to trade tracks... Troublemaker to Dos Baby Eyes to Tre (its really hard to put Dos tracks on the other 2 albums due to its theming) 8th Avenue to UNO (make Stay The Night and 8th Avenue transition into each other) i would also make SYT a hidden track and make Brutal Love the closer of Tre, with 99 Revolutions being the opener instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Expand On 4/14/2025 at 10:58 PM, GreenDayJunkie86 said: I completely agree with this, Expand I remember watching Quatro dvd, the making of Trilogy. That part where band sat in a room, there's a board in 3 sections for each album. Sticky back cards with each track name allocated to each album. Billie Joe is holding the last card wondering where to put it and throws it at board to see where it lands. lol. According to critics, Uno songs where power pop style. Dos, garage rock. And Tre, a mix of poppist and raw hitting. Whether you think some songs don't fit that criteria idk. Imho I wouldn't change anything, as it's Billie Joe's choice. A special reminder about the Trilogy is that they where the only studio recordings, along with Demolicious, with the band as a 4 piece, including touring band member Jason White as additional lead guitarist. The idea being to give studio recording a more live feel. Which was generally felt worked betting on Demolicious than the Trilogy? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Posted Tuesday at 05:58 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:58 PM Is there any higher quality versions of what about today or Puchyak fuck (both names are for the same song) They came from a phone message that was posted back in 2000 or 2001.

Expand Exactly this. When you find something during such formative years of your life, it really alters the course of your life, I think. My political views and just general values align so much with theirs that now when I read an interview them and love what they’re saying about the state of the world, I have to laugh because we’ve basically just gone in a circle. I love what they’re saying because they’ve influenced me for the better from a young age. And same with me too in taking a break from them — I couldn’t really divorce my identity from them even when not actively engaging because they’re just so a part of me. It is so cool and awesome that we were both able to get back into them and be able to enjoy such a fantastic time in their career and in the fandom. It has been such a joy to be part of it. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
